A Salute to Lo

I feel confident in saying that Loreli is the silliest little girl I've ever given birth to:)
She says the funniest stuff and does the goofiest, 
yet totally logical to a 3 year old, things.



For example today she was given some OJ to drink at a friend's house, 
and she comes in and says,
'Why is my juice furry?'
And by furry she meant pulpy.

Once she said to Kings after he tripped and stumbled a bit,
'Wo you better check yourself before you wreck yourself.'
Seriously, hilarious.


Kings + Lolo = bf's for life

She honestly believes she is a tiger. 
When she plays in public with other children she has to be reminded to act like a little girl. 
aka, don't growl but use words, don't lick, don't claw, 
and please for the love of everything get up and walk.
And please please please don't make another one of your friends cry because you have a terrifying roar.
As fate would have it she has sucked us into this feline world of hers.
It is just common in our house for her to answer to 'tiger', cory to answer to 'cheetah', and I to 'leopard'. 
Evvy is a lucky one and gets to be a 'baby tiger'. 
High honors there.


This is Zella and Lo. 
They were tigers in the circus...


Like all little girls she has been adamant about dressing herself.
98% of the time her uniform consists of leggings, a skirt, a shirt, cardigan and socks...and the socks must be folded down.
Every once in a while she adds a little spice,
like a monkey hat:)
And matching is not mandatory as you can see.



The girl is obsessed with holidays and birthdays.
Every single one is so joyous for her. 
She is lost without something to celebrate since Easter is over.
So we are making 'aunt Traci coming to visit' our next official celebration.
We only have one more month to wait.


That is a birthday hat she was going to wear to her besty Marley's b-day party.

Simply said, the kid loves chapstick.
She'll put on 6 different kinds at once.
It's a greasy mess but when she is bored,
her go to activity is a 'chapstick partay!'


Above photo from months ago when we were in Maine and she was having a party in the backseat, unsupervised.
Yes that is red chapstick all over her happy face.


Lastly, bags.
If there is a bag, or container for that matter, that is empty, 
she will fill it. 
It's like a game.
Leave a bag and in 10 minutes look to see what Lo has put inside.


I found this little gem when cleaning up one night.
I call it 'nesting bags'. or stinking funny.

I could go on and on and on about her sweet imagination,
how she is the most considerate and emotionally aware child I've ever encountered, the best big sister and friend, has great hair,
 and has the best sense of humor, but I'll call it a night:)






I love this little girl and being her mama makes me feel lucky every single day.

Dear Miss Loreli,
You've never met my Lily,
but I have a good feeling should you two ever meet you would be the best of friends.
You could wear crazy outfits and growl at just about everything together.
You could fill bags until there were no more bags to fill.
You could make up holidays to celebrate because Lily is devastated Easter is over too.
And you could have host chapstick partays for all of your friends.
Yep. I think you'd be the best of friends.

Love,
Lily's mom

Not only is Lo the funniest most creative little girl ever - but she is also the cutest (next to Paisley J of course). What a great entertainig post - I laughed out loud several times (now that's really saying something).

Hahaha, furry juice! It still amazes me that she can play with chapstick without eating the entire tube! Seriously though. I do love the nesting bags :) And Lo really is pretty emotionally aware. Lucky for us I don't think her roaring has deterred Brecklyn at all :)
